A guide to become more eco-friendly in Blackpool and the Fylde Coast – by Maya Lindley

 

Hi, I’m Maya, and I wanted to say a big thank you to you for reading. These guides were created to help people in Blackpool and the Fylde Coast become more environmentally friendly, without feeling too overwhelmed by climate issues.

They were produced as part of the Boingboing Activist in Residence project, which gave me the opportunity to work as an Eco-activist in Residence at Blackpool Victoria Hospital. I decided that I wanted to use this role to make two guides: one for local residents, and another for Blackpool Teaching Hospitals’ Green Champions.

It was important to me to ensure that both young people and Green Champions were included in the development of the guide. As a result, a series of discussions took place where young people and Green Champions shared their ideas and advice concerning the guides. This information was used to produce the document you are about to read.

I hope that these guides enhances your ability to help fight the climate crisis, and that you enjoy reading about everyone’s ideas!
